Any love for newer Krell amps?

New KEF Reference 5 speakers
The Reference 5 sale is only on a couple of finishes which, apparently, are being discontinued.  Other finishes are not on sale. Greatxsound-I agree with your assessment of the KEF Reference 5.  The more experience I have with it, the more I appre... 
New KEF Reference 5 speakers
I am the OP. With regard to the KEF Reference 5 speakers, after about 1 1/2 years, I’m really liking them.  I think they do require a long break in time.  The imaging, soundstage and bass “slam” are impressive.  Also, I substituted a new Krell Duo... 
Krell Duo 175xd
oem-wheels: if you’re ever in the Bay area, I’d be happy so show you the Krell. Just let me know. I’ve noticed that it has improved in the last couple of days. It’s still pretty new.  
Krell Duo 175xd
I’m in Northern California. Did you have a chance to audition both amplifiers before deciding?  What made you choose the Coda over the Krell?  Which model did you get and where did you buy the Coda?  Glad you’re happy with your choice. I don’t thi...

Advice on Krell amplifier
Thanks vtvm. I’m the op. Never heard of DC offset until you brought it to my attention and I appreciate your help. Reading the Krell information on the amp (under circuitry), I found the following. Is it of any relevance...I don’t know enough to s... 
Advice on Krell amplifier
Yyz-good suggestion. Actually, the Coda was recommended also but the Krell got even a higher recommendation. I haven’t heard or even seen either amp but was told that, while the Coda is very good and costs less, the Krell was even better particula... 
Which new amp to get?
Congratulations.  Hope you will post a review when you’ve had enough time to evaluate it.  Meanwhile, have fun.   
Cartridge Inspection Bay Area
True Sound in Campbell is a. Rega warranty repair station and probably could inspect your cartridge...but they’re closer to San Jose.  Otherwise, anyone with a stylus microscope, which includes many dealers. You would have to call around.  
Monitor Audio Pl 300ii vs. KEF Reference 5
I am the O.P. for this thread. I have the Kent Foundry edition KEF Reference 5 in white. In my house (which has a modern decor) they look fantastic.  In fact, a couple of dealers have talked about working with KEF to get professional photographs f... 
Well Tempered Labs Record Player, thoughts on a used one?
I’m sure it’s great if properly adjusted. I had the original square motor model and, because I don’t like to spend time on adjustments (and really didn’t know how to adjust it properly), I’m sure it was not performing correctly. Finally got a Rega... 
Rega RP3 or Mofi Studio Deck ?
The Rega Planar 3—the current model—lists for about $1000. The  power supply is optional and lists for $395, totaling $1395.  The next model up, the Planar 6, lists for $1595 and includes a power supply which is better than the Planar 3’s optional... 
KEF and Paradigm
The KEF Reference speakers are still made in the UK.  I bought the Reference 5s, despite not being able to hear them in a store. I really liked the Reference 3 and figured the 5 would be similar but with more bass.  When they arrived, I had some d... 
New KEF Reference 5 speakers
I probably should have paid more attention to the front end equipment during the auditions but I wasn’t in the market for electronics.  I’m very happy with my 20+ years old Audio Research tube equipment and recently replaced the tubes and had it s...
